摘要:
A bicycle handlebar is provided that includes a mounting portion, a first gripping portion and a second gripping portion. The mounting portion is configured to be coupled to a bicycle in a direction transverse to a bicycle center plane. The first and second gripping portions extend outwardly from the mounting portion in first and second directions located on first and second sides of the center plane. At least one of the gripping portions includes a pair of bar sections. Preferably, the bar sections diverge outwardly from each other as they extend away from the center plane. Preferably, the bar sections define an accessory receiving space that has an elastic element configured and arranged to retain a bicycle accessory component. Preferably, the gripping portions are integrally formed with the mounting portion as a one-piece, unitary member. Preferably, the gripping portions are looped and are mirror images of each other.

A cleaning implement is provided for cleaning surfaces with a cleaning substrate. The cleaning implement includes a handle connected via a universal joint to a support head. The support head includes a substantially transparent top piece having a plurality of protruding and recessed region which diffract light to create visible shadow and bright zones.
摘要:
The present invention is an improved fiber optic sensing system (FOSS) having the ability to provide both high spatial resolution and high frequency strain measurements. The inventive hybrid FOSS fiber combines sensors from high acquisition speed and low spatial resolution Wavelength-Division Multiplexing (WDM) systems and from low acquisition speed and high spatial resolution Optical Frequency Domain Reflection (OFDR) systems. Two unique light sources utilizing different wavelengths are coupled with the hybrid FOSS fiber to generate reflected data from both the WDM sensors and OFDR sensors operating on a single fiber optic cable without incurring interference from one another. The two data sets are then de-multiplexed for analysis, optionally with conventionally-available WDM and OFDR system analyzers.
